NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?
NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?
(OP)
Hi There,
I have recently started trying to use FBM in NX cam to program wooden parts such as:
htt p://files. engineerin g.com/getf ile.aspx?f older=4434 b07a-ee73- 4c4c-b7c8- d13db98034 42&fil e=PART.JPG
this is just a test part, Product parts are much larger and more complicated. as the Blend is manufactured using a round over, user defined tool, i am currently using a planer profile operation and selecting lines / curves of the part to define the tool path. - which on a larger part takes ages and a lot of these parts are one offs.
the Feature detection appears to work fine :

then i program one feature using planer mill operation & user defined tool :

when i try to teach operation i get this error:
WARNING: Type clash: PocketMilling.Region_Connection: Boolean (false=0,true=1) = Tma.Integer[4]
ERROR: Unknown class: 'MILL_ORIENT' (Geometry Type)
ERROR: Unknown class: 'EngageRetract_?' (NCM Type
i have read the manual's and it seems that i may need to use the MKE and manually edit things, its just not very clear about what i need to edit.
if anyone who has experience with FBM / MKE could give me some help that would be great.
thanks in advance
Matt

RE: NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?
just in case anyone else has smiler problems, i thought id let people know that i sorted the problem - i hadent fully defined the feature before teach feature,
from digging firther in to the manual i found you have to first defign the feature with 3 x Planes ( can only be between 2 lines, or between 2 plane types) and with a 3 plane type CS before feature detection.
the next problem i hit was when creating feature processes ( after teaching operation) and i needed to use the knowledge editor to set the parent geometry for the operation to use a Mill area class.
hope this helps someone, dont hesitate to ask if your having problems,
